Letting it heal is your main job! Keep at it! Enjoy the family and the season!

 

I hate to ask, but I lost track of what kind of surgery you had. I ask because stupidly I tore my Biceps a couple of weeks ago. Waiting for the Orthopod's office to call to set up an appointment, but I fear that I'll need a surgical repair.

Thanks.

 

I/we can can certainly rip over there and meet ya for breakfast!

I'm trying, but, I don't sit still well....

They fixed some tendons, something with a nerve, removed a little bone.
Have something going on with the distal(sp?) Bicep, but, they're leaning on me being off the tools, extensive PT/OT in lieu of more surgery, as that is detach/reattach....
Good luck. This crap sucks.

 

you should take him to iron Duke after and get him some good beers try the baby maker

 

Never been to Iron Duke.
Our Go-To is Vanished Valley. Food is great.
But, as of right now, no beers for me. Haven't had a drink in a bit.

 

Nothing wrong with taking it easy and not having any drinks for a while.

I like vanish valley. Their beers are good and their food is great.

iron Duke food is so so. But their beers are great.

great awakening brewery in Westfield is awesome. Beers and awesome food

 

Yep. Haven't eaten ANYTHING at VV that wasn't good.
I know they have their Peanut Butter stout back, need to stop in, and snag a couple 4packs for later.

Haven't been to Great Awakening, but, have heard good things.

 

Looks like I’m heading to ludlow tomorrow for peanut butter stout.
Thanks for the heads up

 

Yeah, I need to sneak out ASAP before it's all gone.
That was the word on their FB page last time I looked. Though, they're not showing it on the site.

 

The Nurse Practioner who saw me last week was of the opinion it was muscle only with no tendon involvement. I had an Ultrasound Wednesday, but the techs aren't allowed to render an opinion. I have a referral to an Orthopedic surgeon but not an appointment date. If he suggests PT/OT I'll be fine with that.

 

Whoever has the following tires, please note there’s a recall on them.

Falken WildPeak AT3W in size 265/70R17 115T and WildPeak HT02 in size LT235/85R16 116S

Good looks brandon,
Luckily I'm a 265/75/16r


Somewhat related, method 701/703s with 0 offset on skinny 33s, is there a rub problem or anything i should be conscious of beforehand?

 

Brandon and I both have that setup now. You will 100% need to fold the pinch weld and you may rub the cab mount. The chop is no big deal though.

Great tire setup with not that much fitting work imo

 

Assuming I go for this, you are able to help me on this right?

 

I run stock rims with a 2” lift. There wasn’t rubbing when I had some worn rubber, but with new rubber (and 1.25” spacer) it needs a CMC.

He can absolutely do it. Just a heads up, go with a regular cmc plate, unless you want massive chops. I went with SDHQ unknowing that it required a lot more to be cut. But in the end it gave a huge amount of space.

 

Yep no problem. Any idea when?

what tires are you thinkin?

 

I ran factory wheels with 1.25" spacers on 255/85r16s and only rubbed the front bumper a tiny bit it'll vary but worst case just have jack lop off whatever is in the way

 

Is the 3rd gen pinch weld a lot different? I rubbed like a mfer before I folded that

 

I thought it was basically the same, but it's always a crapshoot until you get parts on truck

 

Yup, and get an alignment. My alignment numbers play a decent role in whether I rubbed with the 35s or not
